Review on St. Ives Apricot Scrub - Brightening

I've been enjoying better skin lately. I don't want to call my self vain but I'm really particular with the kind of product I put on my face. I make sure to follow the 3-step routine: Cleanse, tones, Moisturize. But twice a week I try to add another step which is to scrub.

There's a product that never failed me in brightening my face and making it feel clean and fresh. I've been using this product for almost a year and I never had any breakouts because of this. It's Ives Apricot Scrub, yes indeed. This was introduced to me by my classmate in college and fell in love with it from first use but never really had the chance to buy it. But now that I'm working, I don't mind spending few bucks as long as it will do good on my skin.

Here are the photos for you. Smile!





The packaging doesn't come cheap. It's in a squeeze tube so you'll have control of how much you want to use. It claims to brighten the skin, not tested on animals and 100 percent natural extracts which is good. Who doesn't like natural anyway? I love that it smells great even after washing the face. It smells fruity, I would say that it smells like lemonade. The tiny bits of apricot doesn't melt unlike other scrubs that I've tried before. I think that's the reason that it works in removing dead skin. A pea size amount can be used on the whole face and neck. You have to put it in an upward circular motion on wet skin.

Here are photos of how the product looks.



Have you tried this scrub before or any St. Ives product? Please share your thoughts.


Sincerely,

JOY :P

New Bath Companion from Watsons

Who doesn't love taking a bath? I live in the Philippines where it's very humid and the temperature can go up to 60 degree Celsius or even higher during summer. I have bath-time essentials which I use on a daily basis. I just recently run-out of my favorite body wash from The body shop, I first thought of buying new ones from Daiso just to give it a try but I decided to check Watson's first. I know they have body essentials like lotion, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap and even mouthwash at a very reasonable price. Some items are on Buy-one Get-one promo. Watson's carry a lot of different products from head to toe. I have tried their mouthwash and Hair Spa. I must say that they work perfectly the same as the other brands with a higher price tag because of the expensive commercials and advertisements. My husband and I still use their mouthwash until now. Here are my new bath-time companion from Watson's. I currently use this deep moisturizing

Aido Classic Lipstick Review

Hello pretty ladies! Have you heard before about the local brand called Aido? I used to call it "I do" just because I want to make fun of myself and that makes the brand sounds a little bit more interesting hihihi. I was checking Fashion 21 cosmetics because I needed to buy new powder foundation. I noticed the lipsticks from Aido sitting there on Fashion 21 stall, that's when I realized they don't have their own. I swatched some of the colors specifically the pink ones because I'm looking for another pink lipstick and the color that I want from Maybelline is not yet available here in the Philippines. Instead of just swatching pinks I found myself checking as well the other shades but I ended up buying the shades N, K and B. It  doesn't sound good when lipsticks are named by letters, don't you think? The packaging looks like the old packaging of a lipstick that my Mom used to wear but it doesn't look cheap to me at all, in fact it reminds me Mode

Maybelline Clear Smooth B.B Stick

Hi Lovely ladies! It's been weeks or month since my last post, I've been pre-occupied with a lot of things but I always kept thinking about this blog and my readers. It's a sunny Thursday today and I'm hoping all of you are having a good day. I can't believe how time pass by so fast. Today I'm going to review a product by Maybelline called Clear Smooth B.B Stick . I've had this for more than a month and I use it when I'm going to the mall or just at home. I saw this babe when I was already making a payment at Watsons. It got my attention because I've never seen a B.B Cream made just like this. I know BB creams are in liquid form like foundation and I've seen a foundation stick but not BB Stick like this one. Maybelline claims: Clear Smooth BB Stick is a multi-benefit product that combines the benefits of skin care, make-up, and sun block in a stick. It contains salicylic acid that helps clear away pores and imperfections, and miner
